Long ago, EOH used to have a ship viewer which was amazing because it had all these awesome abilities and some even more cooler things. However, for some unknown reason, he deleted it.

CCP put one up as well that had some of the ships, and just a basic set of settings.

However, thats gone too. Why did CCP delete this, and is anyone going to put a new one back up? It was nice to be able to show friends outside the game my ship in 3D. I liked the EOH version much better but, I doubt we can contact him to get the source files for putting i back online at any time.

From the wayback machine snapshot from October 2014:

So if T'Amber did make his own site, maybe contact him in game and ask?

I'm not sure what that user's contact info would be unfortunately.

We still make the core WebGL implementation available through Github.

T'Amber's site is here. Note that that's a player-made site derived from our WebGL release on Github and is not operated by CCP.

Oh nice, thanks. I didn't know if this was still around anywhere.

Though I can't get it to save the textures.. Hmm.

I used;
Material 1: Amarr_Silver
Material 2: Amarr_Hull_White
Material 3: Amarr_Gold
Material 4: Amarr_Hull_White

Now thats the type of ship colors I want in game. Would be nice if the game allowed us to choose the custom colors of our ships from the list, like this site does. Costing that thing I can't remember the name of that you buy clothing with, to do so. Been so long since I played. Hah.

hey so you can right-click the screen and save the view as a png. Did you mean saving it that way?

Help, I can't download EVE

CCP likes to abandon awesome projects/features. World of Darkness, WiS, old Aura, disable station environment, annual characters stats, ... Also dojos. I loved the idea of dojos.

Lol world of darkness was doomed from the get go, they should have had them making dust with western devs instead of trying to make that Shanghai startup that ran it ran into the ground.

I meant as part of the URL so you can share your design with the textures and such with someone else. Instead of what I did which is tell you which textures to replace with what.
